None: Poor: When the manuscript was bound, the margins were trimmed very closely to
the text. However, text is lost on fols. 12, 135-137, 139, 151 and 155-156

Fol. 125 has a frayed bottom margin and missing outer bottom with loss of
text. Some leaves have paper strips pasted over frayed margins. These strips are now often
very loose so that the text underneath them can be read. Fols. 1-3 were
covered on their verso sides with other pieces of paper to support them; on fol.
1 there is red marbled paper and newspapers pasted on its verso side.
On fol. 81r a piece of yellow transparent paper was pasted over a cut in
the leaf. There is mould on the manuscript.260mm x 148mmNote: Written in one column, except the verses on fols. 67v, 73r-v and 83v in 2

Helgi Konráðsson in Sauðárkrókur. It is not sure how the
manuscript came into Pétur Jónsson´s ownership, but it is likely that Jón Benediktsson, son of the provost Benedikt Vigfússon in Hólar, and
his son Halldór Jónsson sold or gave it
away when they emigrated to North America.
